Processing InformationThe Czesław Miłosz Papers contain material formerly classed as Uncat MS Vault 489, Uncat MS Vault577, Uncat MS Vault 736, Uncat MS Vault 797, Uncat MSS 114 and Uncat MS Vault Milosz.

Each of the three largest accessions that comprise the Czesław Miłosz Papers was prepared for sale byMiłosz and his assistants. This organization and identification has been retained where appropriate andthe three accessions have been interfiled. Several smaller accessions (including a 1966 donation fromMiłosz and donations from Farrar, Straus & Giroux) were interfiled.

Students who assisted in the processing of this collection include Rebecca Henriksen, Zakhar Ishov,Claire Morelon and Ewelina Rudnicka. Visiting archivist Henryk Citko identified and described a portionof the papers.

While the primary language of the finding aid is English, much of the descriptive language (folder titles,titles of works, personal names and place names) is in Polish. Alphabetical listings in Polish thereforefollow Polish conventions (e.g. ł follows l and ę follows e). Since many of the Polish names cited in thefinding aid are of émigrés or people who published widely outside of Poland, readers may find someinconsistency in the spelling of Polish names (e.g. Oscar Milosz is used throughout the finding aid ratherthan the Polish spelling Oskar Miłosz). Additionally, Polish names and titles that are cited in English-language works are often transliterated and therefore do not use Polish characters (e.g. A Poet's Work:

Page 4 of 127


An Introduction to Czeslaw Milosz). The usage followed in this finding aid reflects the material beingdescribed and therefore is not normalized.

Electronic files were refreshed into the Yale University Library Rescue Repository. Technicalspecifications are filed with the media in Restricted Fragile Papers.

Czesław Miłosz, 1911-2004Czesław Miłosz, poet, essayist and Nobel Laureate, was born on June 30, 1911 in Šeteniai (Szetejnie),Lithuania and died on August 14, 2004 in Kraków, Poland, at the age of 93. He married Janina Dłuska(1909-1986) in 1944 and they had two sons: Anthony and John Peter. His second wife Carol Thigpen, whomhe married in 1992, died in 2002.

Miłosz grew up in Lithuania amid diverse languages and ethnicities (including Polish, Lithuanian, Russianand Jewish) yet retained a strong attachment to his native country and language throughout his decadesof life in Western Europe and the United States. As a child and young adult, Miłosz lived under an unstableseries of governments and regimes, witnessing the political and social upheavals of the two world warsand rise of the Eastern Bloc. Miłosz studied law at Stefan Batory University in Vilnius (also known as VilniusUniversity). It was during this time that he published his first poetry in the University publication AlmaMater Vilnensis(1930), and later in a slim printed collection Poemat o czasie zastygłym (1933). He also co-founded the literary group and journal Żagary in Vilnius. While traveling to Paris in the 1930s he met adistant relative, Oscar V. de Lubicz Milosz, who was to be an important lifelong influence.

After completing his studies Miłosz worked in radio, first for Polish Radio in Vilnius (1936-1937). His secondcollection of poems Trzy zimy (1936) was published during this time. When he was dismissed, apparentlyfor political reasons (perhaps because he included Jewish authors in his literary programming), he movedto Warsaw and worked for Polish National Radio until the outbreak of the Second World War.

During the war, Miłosz produced several clandestine publications including the anthology Pieśńniepodległa ( Invincible song) and the collection of his poems Wiersze ( Poems, under the pseudonymJan Syruć). His war-time poems are ironically juxtaposed to the profound trauma of the war and the Nazioccupation of Warsaw. In Świat ( The World) Miłosz created defiantly serene portraits of faith, hope, love,fear and recovery that are nevertheless testament to the heaviness of war (and in stark contrast to hisearlier poems written in Vilnius). This and other poetry from 1936-1945 is collected in Ocalenie ( Rescue[1945]).

After the Second World War, Miłosz became a cultural attaché for the People's Republic of Poland inNew York and Washington, D.C. He then accepted a post in France in 1950. Increasingly estranged fromthe Polish government, he defected in 1951, obtaining political asylum in France. His defection promptedcriticism from leftist intellectuals (Pablo Neruda was among his outspoken critics). As Miłosz struggledwith his exile and his role as a Polish-language poet in France, he published his analyses of contemporarypolitical upheaval in numerous prose works and regular contributions to Kultura, the Polish-languageliterary monthly published in Paris. His first post-emigration volume of poems, Światło dzienne, waspublished by Institut Literacki in 1953. In Poland, his work was circulated chiefly in clandestine copiesbetween 1951 and 1980 since his writing was censored.

Much of Miłosz's prose writing in the 1950s was semi-autobiographical. His early life in rural Lithuaniainspired the characters in the novel Dolina Issy ( The valley of Issa, 1955). Zniewolony umysł ( The captivemind, 1953) and Zdobycie władzy ( The seizure of power, 1955), which thrust him into the internationalspotlight, examined the moral and psychological pressures of life under a repressive totalitarian regime,providing context for his decision to defect. Rodzinna europa ( Native realm, 1959) explores the dicultiesof balancing his Eastern European identity and strong attachment to the Polish language with his life as anémigré.

Miłosz emigrated to the United States in 1960. He initially accepted a temporary lectureship at theUniversity of California, Berkeley and was appointed Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures in 1961.He maintained close ties with the Polish émigré community in Paris, visiting frequently and continuinghis association with Instytut Literacki. His works of literary criticism and anthologies of Polish poetrypublished in the 1960s (including Postwar Polish poetry [1965] and History of Polish literature [1969]) drewincreasing attention to Polish literature in Europe and the United States.

In the United States, Miłosz was confronted with the fact that Polish literature was little-known inAmerican circles, referring to himself as "Wrong Honorable Professor Milosz/Who wrote poems in someunheard-of tongue" (Magic Mountain [1975]). Any trace of self-conceived obscurity vanished in 1980when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The decision to award Miłosz the prize was made just beforethe democratic Solidarity labor strikes in Poland became widespread (activity that led to the impositionof martial law in Poland and eventually to the democratic change of government in 1989). These events,together with the appointment of Pope John Paul II two years prior, constituted a dynamic armation ofPolish culture in the world spotlight.

In 1981, Miłosz visited Poland for the first time since his defection thirty years earlier. He was welcomed byimmense crowds who celebrated his writing and his recognition as Nobel Laureate. He met with numerousliterary and political figures, including Lech Wałęsa (leader of the Solidarity movement and future Presidentof the Republic of Poland).

Miłosz continued to travel extensively after his retirement from teaching in 1978, accepting appointmentsas a visiting lecturer from, among others, Harvard University and the University of Michigan. He traveled toPoland regularly and his visits were increasingly lengthy until he moved to Kraków in 2000. He continued topublish numerous volumes of poetry and prose works, including translations of his own poetry into English.

Miłosz was a prolific translator to and from Polish and his translations introduced many modern Polishpoets (including Aleksander Wat and Anna Świrszczyńska) to English-language readers. He undertook themonumental task of translating portions of the Bible after studying the fifteenth-century Puławski Psalter.His English translations of Polish poetry are are compiled in anthologies such as Czas niepokoju (1958) and Mowa wiązana (1986).

Miłosz received numerous prizes and honors, including the Prix Littéraire Européen (1953), the NeustadtInternational Prize for Literature (1978), the Nobel Prize for Literature (1980), and a National Medal of Arts(1990). Additional information on Czesław Miłosz is available in standard print and online biographicalresources.

Scope and ContentsThe Czesław Miłosz Papers document the life and work of the poet, essayist and Nobel Laureate CzesławMiłosz. The papers consist of writings, correspondence, photographs, personal papers, audio material,and printed material (including newspaper clippings, printed ephemera and clandestine samizdatpublications), spanning the years 1880-2000, with the bulk of the material dating from 1940 to 1989.While some writings, photographs and personal documents pre-date the Second World War, the earliestcorrespondence dates from 1946.

The papers document all aspects of Miłosz's professional life and include original holograph and typescriptdrafts of his major works of poetry and prose from 1945 to1992, drafts or transcripts of hundreds of essays,speeches and lectures, transcripts of radio broadcasts, teaching material, and documentation of hiscollaboration with Aleksander Wat.

The papers document the domains of Miłosz's eminent career as a poet, writer and scholar of Slavicliterature, his creative writing process, the relation of literary figures to historical events and movementsof the twentieth century (including the Second World War, the rise of Soviet-influenced Communistrule in Poland, and upheavals in the Polish government in the 1980s), and themes of exile and emigration,particularly as they relate to Polish émigrés in France and the United States. Correspondence and writingsdirectly address the intellectual and political themes that are prevalent in Miłosz's work, such as theincompatibility of totalitarian government and creative expression, the nature of religious faith, and thepain of exile.

Miłosz maintained long-standing association with the Polish émigré community of Paris after he movedto the United States. He frequently corresponded with the aliates of Institut Literacki. This relationshipis also evident in his regular contributions to the monthly serial Kultura. Major correspondents in thepapers include Józef Czapski, Jerzy Giedroyc, Jan Goślicki, Zbigniew Herbert, Zygmunt Hertz, Zofia Hertz,Konstanty Jeleński, Aleksander Wat and Paulina Wat.

In addition to Miłosz's writings, lectures and teaching, the papers include sporadic documentation ofpersonal and financial matters. This documentation includes financial records, legal records (especiallyrelating to immigration) and family photographs. Among the printed material that Miłosz collected aremany clandestine (samizdat) publications that were produced in Poland despite prohibitive censorship.This collection, while fragmentary, is representative of clandestine publication activity during the 1980s.

Series I. Correspondence Czesław Miłosz papersGEN MSS 661

Collection ContentsSeries I. Correspondence, 1946-200032.11 linear feet (78 boxes)Series I consists chiefly of Miłosz's incoming correspondence from writers, scholars, publishers, friends,family and fans. The earliest correspondence (filed in the separate subseries Postwar Correspondence)dates from the time period directly after the Second World War when Miłosz worked in diplomatic postsfor the People's Republic of Poland in New York and in Washington, D.C. The latest correspondence is from2000, when Miłosz moved to Kraków, where he spent the last four years of his life.

The general correspondence details Miłosz's life and professional activity from his years in France inthe 1950s through the year 2000. Topics of correspondence include practical business (e.g. publicationagreements and travel for appearances), political matters (e.g. the plight of suppressed writers and artistsin Poland), personal reflections, and literary and philosophical inquiry.

Some files include drafts or copies of outgoing letters, as noted in folder descriptions.

Organized into three subseries: Postwar Correspondence, General Correspondence, and SpecialCongratulatory Letters and Telegrams.

Container Description Date

Postwar CorrespondenceThe subseries Postwar Correspondence consists of interfiled letters from twocategories designated by Miłosz: "Letters, family and friends up to 1950" and"Letters, writers and artists up to 1950." The library's decision to retain thissubseries as a distinct group reflects a distinction that made between this earlycorrespondence and other, later correspondence. The time period of 1946-1950was particularly challenging as his diplomatic service to the Polish governmentweighed heavily upon him. The subseries documents the early development of hiscriticisms of Eastern European communism that were later expressed in writingssuch as Zdobycie władzy and Zniewolony umysł.

Some of this correspondence was printed in Zaraz po wojnie (1998).

Writings, 1934-200030.44 linear feet (74 boxes)Series II consists of drafts, proofs and other material documenting a comprehensive range of Miłosz'swritings, including poetry, political analysis, literary criticism, short fiction, memoirs and novels. The papersinclude original holograph drafts for all of Miłosz's major works (including translations of his poetry andbooks into English) before the mid-1980s. Some works have multiple drafts, though most files consistof a single, corrected draft. Some drafts are accompanied by extensive notes, such as the holographtranscript of the Puławski Psalter that Miłosz used to prepare for his translation of portions of the Bibleinto Polish. Typescripts and computer printouts are present for Miłosz's later writings, and material is lesscomprehensive after the mid-1990s. Computer printouts, dating from the early 1990s on, are generallylightly corrected, in contrast to the heavily annotated earlier holograph drafts. The papers do not includedocumentation of posthumous publications.

The Poetry subseries includes holograph drafts of most of Miłosz's major works of poetry, includingOcalenie (1945), Światło dzienne (1953), Traktat poetycki (1957), Król Popiel i inne wiersze (1962), Guciozaczarowany (1965), Miasto bez imienia (1969), Hymn o perle (1982). Corrected typescript or computerprintout drafts are present for Nieobjęta ziemia (1984), Dalsze okolice (1991), and Piesek przydrożny(1997). Only the introduction for Kroniki is present. Miłosz's earliest collected volumes of poetry ( Poemato czasie zastygłym [1933] and Trzy zimy[1936]) are represented only as printed versions.

The Prose subseries includes material of diverse genres: fiction, memoir, history, literary analysis, politicalcommentary, and letters to editors. Major works of prose include book-length works of fiction, memoir,history, literary analysis and political commentary. Material filed under this heading includes holographdrafts of Zniewolony umysł (1953), Zdobycie władzy (1955), Dolina Issy (1955), Rodzinna Europa (1959), Człowiek wśród skorpionów (1962), Widzenia nad Zatoką San Francisco (1969), and Prywatne obowiązki(1972). Typescript drafts are present for History of Polish literature (1969), Emperor of the earth: Modes ofeccentric vision (1977), Ziema Ulro (1977), Ogród nauk (1979), and Witness of poetry/ Świadectwo poezji(1983). The heading also includes a draft of a science fiction novel unpublished during Miłosz's lifetime ( Góry Parnasu). Shorter works of prose include essays on literature and contemporary politics as well asshort works of fiction and some letters to editors.

The Notebooks subseries includes holograph notes on a variety of topics and drafts of prose, poetry andcorrespondence.

The subseries Translations by Miłosz consists of drafts and other material documenting Miłosz'stranslation of others' work, including modern poetry, portions of the Bible and a few prose works (such asthose of Oscar V. de Lubicz Milosz).

The subseries Works Edited or Compiled by Miłosz includes drafts, notes and other material documentingpoetry collections that Miłosz edited or compiled.

Series II is organized into six subseries: Poetry, Major Works of Prose, Essays and Other Shorter Works ofProse, Notebooks, Translations by Miłosz, and Works Edited or Compiled by Miłosz.
